Your Journey Matters, Too.

My path has shaped the therapist I am today, but our work together is about yours.

Whatever experiences, questions, or challenges have brought you here, I would welcome the opportunity to learn about your story and explore what healing might look like for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out to begin

Prima Materia:

Where Transformation Begins

Alchemy is an ancient philosophical, spiritual, and experimental tradition concerned with transformation and the discovery of hidden potential. One of its central concepts is prima materia, meaning "first matter." In alchemy, it represents the original material from which transformation begins. I see a meaningful parallel between this concept and the work of psychotherapy. Your experiences, relationships, memories, emotions, beliefs, struggles, and strengths all form part of your personal prima materia.

Professional Psychotherapy. Spiritual Inclusivity. Authentic Transformation.

Through an integrative, transpersonal approach to psychotherapy, we create space for psychological healing, self-discovery, and exploration of the deeper dimensions of human experience.

At Alchemy Transforms Mental Health and Wellness, we believe that meaningful healing honors the whole person—including the spiritual beliefs, practices, and experiences that shape who you are.
